Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and others are forming an alliance to demand more transparency from the NSA. According to AllThingsD, they'll ask President Obama to let them do three things in their transparency reports and ask the government to provide their own transparency reports too.

Airbnb, the San Francisco-based marketplace for people to list and rent private rooms and homes from each other, has seen astounding growth since opening for business in 2008, with the service active in 30,000 cities as of December 2012. International business has played a huge part in that story, with some 75% of bookings including a non-U.S. component, either on the listing or renting side. Now, those in Europe will be able to hear first-hand about how Airbnb intends to grow that business -- as well as face up to the challenges of it -- when co-founder and CTO Nathan Blecharczyk comes to speak at Disrupt Europe in Berlin in October.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/x8_PstruJIY/

Microsoft sits between a rock and a hard place when it comes to privacy -- it can't reveal more about FISA requests, but it's also accused of assisting with NSA eavesdropping. The company is trying to settle both matters today, starting with a call on the US Attorney General for help. Microsoft hasn't had a response to its June 19th request to publish aggregate security request data, and it wants the Attorney General to directly intervene by legalizing these disclosures. The government official hasn't publicly acknowledged the request so far, although we weren't expecting an immediate answer.
At the same time, Microsoft is expanding its denials of The Guardian's recent reporting that it facilitates large-scale NSA snooping. Along with insisting once more that it only offers specific information in response to legal requests, the firm claims that its supposedly eavesdrop-friendly actions were innocuous. Microsoft was only moving Skype nodes in-house rather than simplifying the NSA's access to audio and video chats, for example. It's doubtful that the public position will completely reassure doubters given the veils of secrecy surrounding the NSA and its collaborators, but the crew in Redmond at least has a full statement on record.

Former Nissan executive takes key post as automaker aims for No. 1 spot

David JolleyFRANKFURT -- Volkswagen Group named its U.K. chief, Simon Thomas, head of global marketing for the group and for the company's core VW brand.
Thomas will play an important role in helping VW Group meet its Strategy 2018 goals, a spokesman said.
As part of the strategy, VW aims to surpass Toyota Motor Corp. and General Motors Co. to become the world's top-selling automaker.
Thomas, 53, joined VW in 2011 from Nissan where he was European head of sales and marketing.
He succeeds Juergen Stackmann, 51, who was appointed CEO of VW's Spanish unit Seat in May.
Thomas will coordinate marketing activities with the marketing bosses of VW Group's individual brands, the spokesman said. VW's brands include VW, Skoda and Seat, as well as Audi, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini.
Thomas will report to Christian Klingler, VW Group board member for sales and marketing, and takes up the new role on Sept. 1.
Thomas, a British national, was appointed Nissan Europe's senior vice president of sales and marketing in 2009 during a period of revival for the automaker in the region.
He began his automotive career as an apprentice technician in 1976 at a Ford dealership, later joining the Austin Rover Group, then Nissan UK.
 | Thomas moves to global role at VW. |
VW Group's six-month global sales increased by 5.5 percent year-on-year to a record 4.7 million units as strong demand in China and the United States offset weak European sales.
Audi's U.S. sales have increased 14 percent this year to 74,277 units but volume at the VW brand has slipped 1 percent to 206,792 units through June in a market that has advanced 8 percent.
VW officials have blamed increased competition in the U.S. compact and mid-sized car markets for the company's sluggish sales performance, as well as the robust pickup truck sector, where VW does not participate.
The automaker aims to boost annual group vehicle sales to 10 million by 2018, up from 9.07 million last year.

A fresh version of Tumblr just hit iOS devices less than a week ago, but now the Yahoo-owned service is pushing out a newer release with "a very important security update." Not only is the outfit recommending that users download the tweaked app immediately, but it's also asking folks to change their password on Tumblr and on any other service they use the same passphrase. There's no mention of a breach or exactly what the new code patches up, but we'll keep you in the proverbial loop as we learn more.
Update: We've gotten word from Tumblr that it was notified of a security vulnerability and immediately dispatched the update to remedy the issue. Hit the break to read the outfit's entire statement.

Many ostensibly female-oriented phones tend to be compromised, with flashiness on the outside sadly unmatched by power on the inside. Not so Sugar's inaugural, namesake smartphone: while the Android 4.2-based device is lined with 5.16 carats' worth of Swarovski Pure Brilliance gems, the underlying hardware is worth attention all on its own. The 5-inch, 1080p Sharp LCD is backed up by a quad-core MediaTek chip, 2GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera, a 1.3MP front shooter and either 16GB or 32GB of storage. Sugar plans to launch the phone in China and Europe, although you'll have to wait until August for full details. In the meantime, you can catch the full Engadget Chinese hands-on at the link below, and our colleagues' English hands-on video is available after the break.
